Letsholonyane explains Highlands’ slump in form

Highlands Park midfielder Reneilwe Letsholonyane believes the congested fixture schedule has had a negative impact on the Lions of the North.


The Tembisa-based side, which reached the final of the MTN8 earlier this season, has lost three of their last five matches.

Letsholonyane says his side are having difficulty in juggling all the demands of the fixture schedule but revealed that his side is hard at work trying to get back the winning formula that saw them having a good start to the season.

“It’s a difficult period for us, we played for three weeks back-to-back games. It was with travelling, that schedule was a bit taxing,” Letsholonyane told SowetanLIVE.

“We play a high-intensity game, so at some point it is bound to happen where you get a slump because of tiredness and the performance drops.”
